Oh, sorry didn't mean to leave that out. I'm 22 years old, I recently started using glasses for myopia (it didn't affect my preference regarding text) and I don't have astigmatism.

I agree with you on the aesthetics of serifs, I prefer it when I'm admiring how beautiful a piece of paper looks but when I'm reading I find them illegible. Same goes with cursive, although I can read it just fine I hate every minute of it. I also don't have a nice handwriting (don't know if these tell you something).

It is funny how aesthetic choices differ. I unintentionally associate serif fonts with infographics, ads etc. that I find overdesigned and not my preferred ways to get information efficiently.
